I want to reproduce content owned by Transparency International – do I need to ask permission?

No. Unless otherwise noted, Transparency International content is covered by a . This means you are free to use our work without contacting us as long as you comply with the terms in the licence. You comply with the terms of the licence if you credit and link to our material as follows:

Please link to the TI content under the above mentioned CONTENT TITLE (YEAR).

The attribute “NoDerivs” means that it is not permitted to remix or change the content under the mentioned licence.

Please note that some of the content on our website is not owned by Transparency International – in particular images – so always check that the product is not attributed to a third party before using or sharing.

I want to use Transparency International’s data – for example from the CPI – in my work. Do I need to ask permission?

No. Although the general content is licensed under CC BY-ND 4.0, the CPI and datasets are licensed under CC BY 4.0 DE, which means that it is even easier to use them. You only need to attribute as follows:

CONTENT TITLE (YEAR) by Transparency International is licensed under CC BY 4.0 DE

Please link to the TI content under the above mentioned CONTENT TITLE (YEAR).

As the “NoDerivs” parameter is missing you are allowed to remix and change the content. That said, it does not mean that you can change the content in a way that it becomes untrue. In addition every change you do with our data must be explicitly indicated.

Below you can find a selection of datasets – including the Corruption Perceptions Index – that can be shared and used freely. Anyone can extract, download, and make copies of this data, and may also share that information with third parties. There is no charge for this, and you do not need to ask us for permission – we simply ask that the data is not changed and is attributed to us as “Source: Transparency International”.

Corruption Perceptions Index (1995-2016). Note: Scores from CPIs before 2012 are not comparable year-over-year. Also note that ranks should not be compared over time since the number of countries assessed can vary from one year to the next.
